Did this one with a couple of friends who I had never hiked with before. They mostly wanted to check out the Kendall Katwalk, but I talked them into hitting the summit too. We all enjoyed it. Beautiful area. The views of Thomson were mouth watering. It's now at the top of my list of peaks to climb! I have a feeling I'll be coming back here on more than one occasion.

A fun trip. My friend and I started out at 9:00 A.M. and headed up the PCT from Snoqualmie Pass. We went to the end of the Kendall Katwalk for the view and then headed back to the White stump and cut on up the hill to the peak. Once on the slope the trail is evident and if you are looking for it, you can actually see it climbing the hill up the the peak. Great trip with great views (Rainier was looming in the distance).

It was my first time on these peaks and I didn't do much research so route finding was a bit of a trick. Special thanks to my friend Alexei for his last minute descriptions of the Kendall route and shortcut. I only spent a few seconds on the summit because it was swarming with flying ants and they did not like me being there. It wasn't originally part of my plan but I jogged back down to the junction so I would have time for neighboring Red Mountain.

Horrible weather made this all the more enjoyable for me. Snow on the ground, limited visibility due to the fog that was rolling in and rolling out, and rain at times all made for a trek that was slick at times. Ascended the NW Ridge, descended one of the gullies back to the PCT. Good times!
